Pietro is the best guide, very knowledgeable active and funny! He showed us the best views and was passionate about the hike himself that makes a huge difference! Definitely recommend his hike!
Gustavo was an amazing guide. Hike is around 9.5km, the Tijuca is worth it. Great organisation, transport and lot of knowledge thanks to the guide. Highly recommended!
